CCS64 uses F9 to access the menu. An understandable choice because a real C64 does not have an F9 key.

I'm building a pc in an original breadbin C64 case using the Keyrah V2 so I can use the original C64 keyboard. The only problem is I can't use CCS64 with it, because a commodore 64 does not have an F9 key. A way to change the default menu key from F9 to something else (preferable a combination of two keys) would be great. Fortunately most of the menu items have a direct shortcut, but the option to remap F9 still would be great.Vice has a near perfect layout for the Keyrah V2, however I prefer CCS64.

I more or less solved the F9 key problem with the Keyrah V2.I have a Windows PC in a real C64 breadbin, but because the C64 has no F9 key I could not use CCS64 on it.Also a real C64 does not have a real cursor UP and Cursor left key. Instead it uses Shift-Cursor down for up and Shift-Cursor Right for Left.Also Alt-F10 (swap joysticks) can't be used because a real C64 lacks an F10 key.

The workaround I use is a nice little program called "Autohotkey" .You can run in the System tray. You can make scripts that can redirect keys (or combinations) to other keys.So what I did is Alt-F1 = F9 (the keyrah V2 interprets the commodore key as ALT)Also Shift-Cursor down = Up and Shift C and Shift-Cursor Right = Left.and Alt-J = Alt-F10

Excellent workaround, however it would not be necessary if Hakan could make a few little changes to CCS64 to make it Keyrah V2 compatible just like Vice.Just make it also possible to use Alt-F1 to go to the options menu. and make the navigation also respond to Shif+cursor combinations and Alt-J for joystick swap.That way I don't need the autohotkey workaround anymore.

I like Vice, but I like CCS64 better. I like the fact that i don't need the mouse to select games or change options. Also in Full screen mode.Most important however is that CCS64 has perfect sreen sync. A feature that's broken in Vice for ages.
